Again, Amen to that.

Amen to that. I amazed this Board loads as fast as it does what with all the weighty, etched in granite posts.

Have to disagree there, perhaps a little Liverpool bias showing . United thoroughly deserved to win and Porto never really troubled them. Really, one goal in the 6th minute away and conceding 2 at home??? Not sure about that, maybe a bit of Man U bias on your part there. :D I was expecting a bit more from Porto though considering how good they were in the first leg. Liverpool did not deserve to go through, simple as that.

Yes it's great, one of those once in a life time All-Star sessions that really works.

PHILLYQ, clifford, and Stefan thanks for the info. I take it Pay Pal is the only payment option???

I will echo John's question, who ebay's regularly, I am seriously considering signing up with them, is it worth the hassel?

Yes that is probably the way I'm going to go.

Eh, what is that? Is it the Japanese version of the Hollywood All-Star Sessions?

This is what I find odd, this a 77 year old man we are talking about here not some teenager, surely the guy has some cop on at this stage. Deleting posts/threads before you make a big deal about leaving and trying to make people believe it was someone else doing it??? What some people don't seem to realise or choose to forget is that there was Organissimo the Band before there was Organissimo the Board. I'm sure that the site is handy for the guys for promoting their music and the other projects they are involved with but they, Jim especially, doesn't really need to do this Forum. I'm sure as he has a young family, this is one hassle he could gladly do without. I would think it is childish little things like this that will put an end to the Board, rather than big things like financing it. The money can always be found when you want to keep it alive but why put in the effort when someone who is old enough and supposed to know better behaves this way. Why would anyone have an interest in discussing Politics on this Board, why? Is it because it's easier to do here than on an actual Political Fourm? Surely the clue as to what should be discussed is in the title, " organissimo jazz forums - The best jazz discussion forum on the web!"

Stress. Stress isn't a factor for Guus, it's because he already has too many other commitments, one of which is the Russian national team. I should have added some smileys. I think it's becasue he's very very smart, the Chelsea squad, despite last night's result, needs some fresh blood, not just a few big name/big money signings. There are quite a few players there who are past their best or not really that good anyway. Without another massive splurge by Roman, he would always be failing to live up to the expectations, however after saying that, if they win something this year there will be a lot of pressure on the Chelski Board to keep him so don't rule it out. No matter what the reason is, Guus Hidink is someone I would like to see on the lines next season. His name was mentioned more than one time as one of the candidate to replace Mr. Ferguson (if he ever retires). No doubt he's a great Manager, his record proves that, but he's got quite a nice number at the moment with Russia and I doubt he wants the work load at this stage, if he did he could probably go to any club in the world. Very lucky win for United.................... again.

They want to see how everybody feels about the exit. Maybe someone will beg them to stay. Another day of drama on.... As The Organissimo Turns. Yes of course, and they can read the responses to their dramatic final post from the safety of anonymity, ie not logging in. I'm really looking forward to the next episode of...... As The Organissimo Turns. Who will Chuck Nessa bang next???

Same here and I don't really know why, it's not like I ever hated them, just that I'm finding things in them that I never noticed before, eg Monk in San Fran., always thought it was good but recently it blew my mind for some strange reason, can't believe how good it is. Back to Barry Harris, I am going after his Xanadu's, by hook or by crook.

Yes, and you would think that this would be obvious, however some people treat this place like their own personal blogs.

The one that is soon to go OOP, at least according to the last e-mail from True Blue, it's on "Last Chance" alert. :rcry

I don't know why but I was looking at getting some more of Harris's work as leader recently, I only have "Newer Than New", but I started looking at some of his sideman dates, he was on quite a few classics, major and minor, throughout the years. Here's a few, as like me, you probably have more Harris in your collection that you think.

If this is true and I have no reason to believe it isn't, then not only is it a dickhead thing to do but it's also unbelievably childish and petulant, a real "they're my toys and you're not playing" attitude, a total drama queen. Especially when you have been given a position of trust in what is supposed to be an online community. I have never understood the obsession some people have with announcing that they are leaving a Message Board, as if it's some sort of an end of an era. Just don't post anymore, its very simple.

Stress.

I think you will have a similar reaction/feelings/enjoyment/whatever by listening to this; I've listened to it about 5 or 6 times over the last week or so and Wilbur is amazing on this one, as is Philly Joe.

Yes, this seems to be back to normal now, thanks to the fix-it people, whoever they may be.

So it was all over then was it, fuckin' hell I'll have to stop watching football or start smoking again. It's just too much work being a fan.

This is what I thought, there are loads of threads on these types releases, why this is suddenly an issue for some people is quite strange. I actually had this one and sold it to someone on the Board fairly recently. To be honest I didn't think it was that good really, they sound very, very loose, to the point of being sloppy. I made a mistake here, I had the Paris bootleg not the Stuttgart one, they confused me by using the same covers, kinda anyway.

Whoa Jim, do you play organ or something???? :lol: Seriously, how on earth do you know such detailed specifics? that's kinda amazing. I am very impressed.

Ah, that explains it. What a stupid request, she must be a bit nuts.

Thought I'd bump this thread with this one, is it worth checking out??? I presume this is a rip off of Sextet of Orchestra U.S.A.: Theatre Music of Kurt Weill, plus a few odds and ends, two of the last three tracks seem to be from "The Wonderful World of Jazz" by John Lewis.
